Microsoft office professional plus 2007 setup has stopped working free download
While installing from CD, install opens dialog box stating setup cannot find various files excel. After installing Enterprise trial version, the only cannot find is the proplsww. The files are on the CD, but cannot be found on install. CD is from multi license and is valid. Any ideas? I am having the same problem, installing from a multi-license, Office Professional Plus, on a Windows XP computer. I have used the disk successfully for several other installs before.
Browse to a valid installation source, and then click OK. I looked on the disk and the file is there, I tried browsing directly to it, and I get the same pop-up, or "invalid location. Did you find a cure for the problem I am getting the same problem when trying to install Office Professional Plus, on a Windows Vista computer.
No go - I have tried this many times. It will appear to start installing again, but the same message appears soon after. Thanks though. Several files are asked for with different names. I can move to another file by pointing to the root folder for the installation, but then another file is asked for I've clicked over times and still files can't be found, even though they'e been "found" before and are on the DVD.
Internet searching shows that this problem has been reported several times over several months and nobody has found an answer which works for most users.
I would hope that Microsoft will recognise this issue and find out what the problem is. It seems to me that it must be a simple bug whereby information which should be available to the computer - the installation folder - is not being located and stored properly. Attempt to install from HD. Attempt to Install from DVD. I agree that Microsoft should formally recognize that there is a real problem here. I have spent literally hours on Microsoft's site and other web sites looking for a solution.
I have encountered many posts from several disgruntled folks who have tried everything that has been suggested, to no avail. I also have tried the many suggestions without any success. Is there anyone from Microsoft reading these posts who has the ability to suggest to the powers that be to acknowledge this issue, and come up with something more than a few "Try this Well, that worked for the last guy, how about this? Well try this At the least, help us out here by giving an exhaustive list of what the possible reasons are why the setup program would deem invalid the actual installation CD obvious reasons not withstanding , or some diagnostic that could tell us why setup thinks the file is missing when it's right there on the CD!
They informed me that my primary support is my technical department. The install problem is present on many installs for them, some desktops and some laptops. They are awaiting a "fix" for the problem. I understand the fee, but this software is the latest and greatest version of Office that my employer purchased an initial multi-license to cover the first migration to and many are not utilizing simply becasue it won't install.
Jim Brook wrote:. I totally agree. It must be a bug. And as such it's not the territory of the technical department in an organisation. I worked in such a capacity for years and I've tried all the obvious things. And if the tech dept could fix it we would have learned about it by somebody's post by now. Do I understand from your post that MS itself is experiencing the problem and that they are trying to find the solution?
That would surely indicate that it's outside the realm of a straightforward issue. A fee should not be charged to install standard software on computers that are nearly new, well spec'd, well-maintained, fully secure and install many other kinds of software without any trouble - this is a description of my computer and I'm sure of many of the others who've posted about this problem.
Most of the time that people experience an issue with the install where it prompts for the file it is related to cd read issue. Please try copying the entire contents of the disc to a folder on the HD somewhere maybe desktop? There are two things to look for 1 does it copy the contents of the disc to the HD completely?
If it still prompts for a file, does it prompt for the same file or a different file? I did specify in my post that it would not let me copy the contents anywhere else. If you cannot copy the contents of the media from the cd to a local folder, then the issue you are having is a disc read issue. Either the CD has a problem or the drive. Since you are trying to only copy the files, it has nothing to do with the installation itself.
Do you have a second machine that you could use to attempt to copy the files from the disc to a local drive? There is no reason that I can give you that your media is no longer readable on several computers. Several people who have had this problem have mentioned here or elsewhere that they have copied the contents to a hard drive as part of their attempts to resolve this issue - but found no improvement. This applied to me. What I have had to do was completely rebuild my Vista installation from scratch.
I took care to install Office first thing, after Vista had finished the fully updating process. I maintain that there is a bug in the install process which prevents install under some conditions as yet unknown.
To add to the thread, I just experienced this. Walked away, came back to "Browse for Folder" dialog saying "setup cannot find ProPlus. When pointing to the ProPlus. WW folder, I would get "invalid location". When pointing it to the folder I originally extracted the. WW folder , it would sit and wait for a couple minutes and then come back. I tried re-unzipping the. So I'm re-downloading the whole MB again and will tray again.
It's worth mentioning that I've run previous Office individual app installation setup. I tried the "individual app" version, thinking I'll just install word, outlook, excel and ppt because that's what I had extracted previously on the network -- yes, the first couple of runs of setup.
We'll see how it goes with the re-download and I'll point it to the new extraction. Else I'll have to abandon the plus and just go with professional or enterprise. Don't ask me why. Specifically, I re-downloaded the entire. Makes me want to have been running regmon and filemon when it was failing to determine what setup was trying to read. Darn, it installed so I can't find out. I put the disk back in the Vista machine and was able to copy the file to the desktop and then to my thumb drive.
Further comment which may be helpful to people having this problem or to the programmers who are tracking down this problem always hopeful that somebody in Microsoft would care enough to track this problem down!
I have just reinstalled my computer from scratch. The original problem recurred - the install reported numerous files missing. But then I realised that what I had thought was a clean install was not quite so. I had not selected the reformat option but the option which installed into the original partition and put the old files into Windows. So reinstall Vista this time using the format option.
This time success in installing Office from the DVD. But I must ask: Why isn't it possible for the error trapping in the install routine to accurately state the problem instead of spuriously stating that certain files can't be found? If I look at the properties - Digital signature - Details. That might be the reason that the setup keeps on asking for it even when it is there: it is there but invalid!!!
I had this problem when trying to instal Office on new laptop - with Vista. WW to see what was in it, it said there were corrupted files. As I already had on the laptop I did an upgrade to and when instal said it couldn't find the folder I directed it to the memory stick and all went fine. Did you get a solution? I'm having the same problem. I'm new to this thread and any help would be useful.
I was dealing with a machine that previously had 03 with a recent 07 migration 1 of 4, computers. One machine was giving this exact error.
I tried installing from our share, copying the install and running it locally, replacing the cab file with another, all with no luck. Just now I went into the registry and removed the If you guys have access to the registry and are willing to try this and report back, it might help out a lot of people, as answers on a fix for this are slim to none on the net.
I had given up, already backed up the user's data, and was getting ready to re-image the machine and thought I'd give this one last go. During the install, the following message would pop up about halfway through the install:. Go to Start, click on Run, type in regedit and edited the registry - i.
I tried the registry fix in this posting.
